Carol V. Robinson

Carol V. Robinson is a scientist I genuinely look up to. Born in Kent in 1956, she rose from Swansea University to become a Fellow of the Royal Society, a Davy Medal winner, a L'Oréal-UNESCO laureate, and president of the Royal Society of Chemistry, eventually made a Dame. A pioneer of mass spectrometry for studying proteins, she advanced a field while breaking ground for women in science during a far less welcoming era. What moves me is that such towering recognition rests on the patient, hands-on grind of experimentation. Making the invisible molecular world visible is quietly heroic, and she's a beacon for the researchers who follow.
